Salvation as Sonship: Being Sons of the Father in Heaven

There is more than one way to understand the wonder of salvation. One powerful metaphor for salvation is that of sonship. Humans were originally created to be sons of God but lost their position because of sin. But God sent his eternal Son into the world to make the way for humans to again be his sons. Christ Jesus, the only begotten Son of God graciously shares with believers his relationship with God the Father. Being a son of God through Christ is both an incredible privilege and a serious responsibility. Sonship as Salvation explores both the privilege and responsibility of sonship. It considers sonship by looking at the life of Christ and then exploring the implications for Christians.
